GDT: Maple Leafs vs Islanders 7:30pm

[horner]

this should be a trial for Keefe as well can he f***ing adjust and motivate his team to go out there and f***ing compete and turn the game.

Nope not keefe

 

[Gabriel426]

This is just Keefe and Dubas way of wanting Bruins to play Islanders as that’s the toughest matchups.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Keefe will need to/better go back to forward lines that work.

Bunting-Matthews-Nylander
Jarnkrok-Tavares-Marner

 

[All Mod Cons]

From what I remember on this board, many weren't happy with the personal of the team prior to deadline. I remember "too soft" was thrown around almost every game.

Wonder if they think it's gotten even worse?

 

[therealkoho]

Lilly wants no part of the playoffs

It's all those hesitation errors, he overthinks the simple stuff.

 

[meefer]

McCabe's missed coverage.
Lily's fanned pass (Sammy woulda/coulda/shoulda?)
Not sure who missed the feed along the boards by our D, shot and a tip.

3 preventable goals against.

Matthews is looking gooooood. Makes me feel better.

 

[Burnie97]

Have to play all 60. Not sure wtf else can be said. Sure there is mostly an effort but the stupid give aways again.

Hope they can come out in the 3rd and get going. The second wasn't near good enough.

 

[fahad203]

Nope not keefe

Keefe has to be accountable at some point. This is a common Leafs theme
When other teams becomes a bit hungry, a bit desperate, we lose our game

He doesn't adjust his players or tactics
Year in year out can't be the team right. I mean we have like 10 new faces this year

How are some people blaming the coach for bad passes? The Leafs were outplaying them and had costly giveaways.

 

[mikeyz]

I’m so bored with all these recent games
So anti climatic
Playoffs can’t come too soon

I already know what's going to happen. Lol

 

[Teeder Keon]

F this I am going to smoke the fattest J I can find

Is there any other ….
Enjoy

 

[Puckstuff]

Gus and Holl have not looked good imo. Too much offence on the back end, not enough defensive D. Brodie back in should solve this. Bring in Schenn for Holl.

Playing Tavares 4 on 4 is virtually high risk at this point. Not a fan of Keefe continually doing this.

 

[centipede2233]

The unfortunate thing for leafs fan is they gave the team to a rookie gm and had him learn on the job for 4 years….then at the last few months of his 4 years abandons his ludicrous strategy of small skilled forwards with not much grit in a CONTACT sport….

 

[meefer]

She has an endless supply of hot air

The type that I endlessly produce from the back of my front.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

jeez

 

[Gallagbi]

That was really on Kampf
He put ZAR in a very bad spot

Nobody was going to get that puck the way it was passed

Neither plays it well, Kampf overhandles it and makes it move difficult than needed. ZAR just needs to get a stick on it and thats the expectation. From there he can make a (basic) play

 

[Carltons Cup]

The good news is the Scabs are leading the Bolts 3-1

 

[9Iron]

Sloppy jalopy

Bad passes are not coaches fault. Effort is
We were out hustled

 

[notbias]

Leafs had better chances, so what led to the better chances? Their system?

 

[BallardEra]

This is just Keefe and Dubas way of wanting Bruins to play Islanders as that’s the toughest matchups.

Isles probably get 7th the way Pens and Panthers aren't taking charge.

 

[napoleon in rags]

Hudson Fasching... sounds like a character out of a John Irving novel

 

[fahad203]

Keefe will need to/better go back to forward lines that work.

Bunting-Matthews-Nylander
Jarnkrok-Tavares-Marner

Bunting has been trashed though
He does nothing other than once in a while get easy goal

Just go with one good line. One solid line
Matthews, JT and Marner

 

[Mr_Fun]

Lilly has flubbed like that a few times this year.
